Press button (A) for 3 seconds or more and release it, the watch enters the chronograph second 0 position correction mode.

Press button (A) to position the chronograph second hand at the 0 position.

• The chronograph second hand can be advanced one second at a time (in the clockwise direction) each time button (A) is pressed.
• The chronograph second hand can be advanced rapidly by depressing button (A) continuously.

Once the chronograph second has been positioned at the 0 position, reset the time and return the crown to the normal position.

Press button (B) to check that the chronograph minute hand has been reset to the 0 position.

Thanks. I am out if the country (USA) and will be for about a year. Of course I did not bring my watch manual with me.
There were a few bumps upon arrival and the second hand got out of sync. While it is not critical (as I can do any needed adjustment mentally) it is nice to have everything working properly again.
I had forgotten the “hold for three or more seconds” part.

Am I the only one that this has not helped. I have 2 eco drives and both had this problem. The H500 movement one was no prob and is fixed great. The other with the E812 movement has the modes you switch to with the crown in the standard position. I have tried holding button A with the crown in and out in both time and chrono mode. Held for 3 seconds and longer in both and nothing… It doesn’t let me adjust it like the other did

Citizen always offers high-quality watches at such attractive prices, they are beautiful & reliable timepieces. Citizen & Seiko are my No.1 choices!
Short but useful article about how to use Eco-Drive watches. Thank you so much!

Thank you. It worked great. You don’t have any idea how many people I asked and they didn’t know they sell citizen watches. My watch is at least 15 years old and I don’t know where the manual is, I’m glad they’re smart people like you.

I had taken my watch to a horologist to sort this problem but he stated that it required a new battery but he couldn’t get hold of one because he wasn’t a citizen agent, having read your instructions it reset and is working perfectly. Good job I didn’t go swimming with it on though, he’d forgotten to tighten the back having taken it apart but that’s now rectified and working perfectly.
THANKYOU
